Hi guys,

I am noob and really have a hard time finding the right fitting buttondown shirts. I got some rough measurements from a tailor the other day (chest-39, shoulders-18, 2inch above navel 33, below navel 31). Measurements are not weird but I have longer legs than torso.

So I was looking to order MTM shirts for untucked buttondowns to wear with jeans. I have heard of several sites (ie bestcustomfitshirt.com, janzten, and etc)

I was wondering if anyone has any personally experience with any of the sites and pros/cons (I also have read the WSJ article about them) I just want first-hand forum experience

Men's Clothing forum should have a whole lot of experiences and so on. Though, their focus isn't really shirts for jeans, its still helpful.
